「Uhm, is it okay to tell us about that？ Uhm, you wouldn’t have had to explain about it if not for us, right？ ……Sorry」

Miharu apologized with a perplexed face.

Rio, except for the matter regarding Amakawa Haruto, Miharu knew of the matter of Rio’s reincarnation.

And then, she said that she wanted to hear about it someday.(ED: about being THAT Haruto)

Even Miharu can’t imagine what kind of story it is.

But, she knows that it won’t be a lighthearted story, that story was extremely important for Rio.

Their existence became the impetus for him to tell another person about his reincarnation.

Because she felt guilty for that, Miharu apologized to Rio.

「It doesn’t matter, since it was a story that I wanted to tell Seria-sensei someday. I think that it’s okay to start knowing from that. It might have nothing to do with Miharu-san. That’s why please don’t mind it」

To not causing anxiety to Miharu, Rio talked to her with a light tone.

「Yeah……」

Even so, Miharu still hanged her head as if still feeling responsible for it.

Since Aki and Masato never heard about Rio’s previous life, they’re not very knowledgeable about that fact.

「What do you mean by previous life？」

Masato’s asking with a slightly carefree voice.

Aki who was sitting by his side muttered 「Uwaa, now he asked it」 in a low voice.

Seeing that reaction, Rio noticed that those two have a similar misunderstanding to Miharu’s.

That’s right, they misunderstand that Rio is a summoned person like them and not a reincarnated person.

「I’ve said it before right？ I once lived in japan. I was a Japanese」

Rio quickly explained that fact to correct their misunderstanding.

「A ………… Japanese？」

Aki asking with a perplexed face.

Rio didn’t look like pure Japanese from an outsiders view.

His face looked like a half with mixed blood between a westerner and an oriental person, his hair is dyed in silver color due to a magic tool.

Moreover, due to a long time gap, his Japanese pronunciation also somehow became awkward.

「That’s true」

Rio nodded while smiling awkwardly.

He’s looking at Aki face as if looking at a little distance place.

「……」
Aki also silently staring back at Rio’s face.

「Is that the reason you can speak in Japanese? I used to think that you were something like a foreigner」

Masato who sat next to Aki showed an enlightened expression.

「Certainly this face doesn’t look like a Japanese. But, the true color of my hair is black you know」

Rio lifted his necklace while saying that.

The color of his hair instantly changed from silver to black.

「OOH！ Is this also some kind of magic？ 」

Masato’s eyes were sparkling.

「Yeah, it’s called a magic tool. There’s magic built into this necklace. The magic that I put into this is the one to change one’s hair color」

「He~, that’s truly convenient. The magic is」

Masato’s groaned as if admired it.

「Yeah, you can put many colors if you have adequate knowledge for it」

「Please teach me to use magic too someday！」

「But, you’ve to learn this world language first」

「Aa, Un. There’s still a long way to go huh ……」

Masato’s showed a bitter expression.

Looking at his condition, it seems he’s not too eager to study.

（Is it really okay？ Magic equation is quite complex though）

Rio answered Masato with a dry smile while thinking about such a thing.

「By the way, there’s something that I want to tell to everyone」

Rio spoke to those three while sending a line of sight which contained some meaning.

After making sure that their attention is gathered on him.

「It’s just a possibility but, I might know what everyone’s acquaintances doing now」

After saying that.

「R-Really？」

Aki raising a surprised voice.

「But, I’ve no confidence in it」

「What is onii-chan doing right now？」

「Maybe they …… are the hero」

Rio frankly pointed that answer.

「…… Eh？」

Aki couldn’t believe in what she heard.

No, Aki isn’t the only one.

Miharu and Masato also looked dumbfounded along with Aki beside them.

「A hero. Y- ……. Is that how they call oniichan and Satsuki-san. Maybe they’re being summoned to this world as a hero」

「Hero……」

Aki muttered with dumbfounded voice.

「Are they a hero like the one that becomes the protagonist in a game？ Seriously? 」

Masato asked with a slightly cramped smile.

The story suddenly turned to an unbelievable direction.

Maybe their reaction was natural.

「Maybe. I think that’s the best possibility at the present」

「Well, if it’s aniki I mean」

Masato groaned as if to say that he somehow could imagine it.

「Then, is the so called hero strong？」

「Even I didn’t know the full detail but, according to the legend, it seems they’re quite strong at least stronger than your average knight of this region. Nevertheless, maybe because they’re using some sort of magic tool, they can speak in the local language」

「Eeh, how nice！ They didn’t have to study then！ 」

Masato’s let out an envious voice.

「Right」

Rio replied while smiling wryly.

「And, there’s six of them. I know the name of two of them by chance but, it’s not your acquaintance. And I don’t know where the remained four are」

Rio said that with a troubled face while looking at Aki.

Though when it comes to the hero, there’s a high possibility that they belong to a country in someplace, but even that is not absolute.

There’s also the possibility that they’re wandering around the place with no one else after being summoned.

In that case, their whereabouts can’t be found so easily.

（But, they’ll always feel anxious as it is due to their families safety ……….）

Rio also understood the anxious feeling of not knowing the safety of their important family.

Rio knows of that feeling since Amakawa Haruto always lived in that way.

That’s why Rio wants to make Aki meet their acquaintances as fast as possible.

（But, what will Mii-chan do when they’re reunited？ Will we ………… separate？）

Imagining the worst kind of future, Rio was assailed by the feeling as if he suddenly lost his footing.

He was happy that he could met Miharu, to the point of forgotten such a possibility.

In the first place, he’s wondering what kind of existence is the youth called Takahisa to Miharu.

Could it be her lover.

Or maybe not.

But, Rio intuitively perceived.

That man was the person who he saw next to Miharu during the high school enrolment.

（I see …………）

Rio showed a self-mocking smile on his face.

Seria who was taking a casual glance at him from his side noticed that slight change.

But, she stayed silent without saying anything.

Though Rio didn’t know what he should say, that smile instantly vanished when he looked at Miharu.

「For the time being, I’ll keep looking for more information but, I want you to wait patiently for a while. Because whichever country it is, they’ll make an announcement of the fact that they’re sheltering the hero sooner or later, basically until that happens we have no choice but to wait」

The country will make a big announcement for the sake of authority if they’re sheltering the hero.

Though that timing depended on each country, he doubted that they would keep that fact in the dark.

If he waited patiently, one or two rumors about the heroes might come to him.

He won’t miss it if he keeps his ears on the gossip when he goes out to the city.

Leaving the living room as it is, Rio walked towards the unused room while guiding Seria.

「Please use this room」

「Waah, it’s quite wide isn’t it. Is it really okay for me to use such a splendid room by myself？ 」

「Yes. Basically the room’s arrangements are similar」

「Similar to space-time warehouse？ This is a completely haphazard article huh. I mean you can also make such a splendid house」

Seria looked at the interior of the room with great interest.

Though she didn’t object the comfortable room, she couldn’t hide her astonishment at the same time.

「If there’s a necessary article from the items taken out from the laboratory I’ll take them out, how is it ？」

Rio asked while smiling wryly at that Seria.

「Uhn, it seems we need to skillfully arrange everything. By the way, can you take it out one at a time？ 」

「Understood. Since I’ll be taking them out one by one, please say in front if there’s something that you want. Since I’ll help you with the arrangement」

「Thank you very much. Well then――」

After that, on one occasion he started by withdrawing the indoor furniture, then took out the items that were in Seria’s laboratory.

First is to decide the arrangement of the furniture, after setting it’s place he started taking out the small luggage and the magic tools.

「What is the function of this magic tool？」

Rio’s asking while holding a magic tool in the form of a dark crystal.

「Ah, that’s ……… That’s right」

Seria’s answering with a face pondering about something.

「Rio, do you want to try to measure how much magical power you have?」

And so she said with a proud expression.

「My magical power？」

「Yeah, I managed to develop a magic tool which can measure the approximate amount of magical power. Please touch the surface of the crystal for a while」

「Yeah……」

Having an interest in the aggregated amount of his magic power, Rio placed his hand on the crystal surface.

「『Measure』」

Seria’s chanting the spell to activating the magic tool.

Thereupon the crystal started to cast a light.

「Though it’s just the rough amount, it can measure the amount of magical power according to the intensity and color of the crystal light」

Seria explained the ability of the magical tool that she invented by herself.

The color of the crystal will be graded into 12 stages according to the depth of magic; purple, blue, red, yellow, white, and black according to the amount of magic power.

「The previous model limit was a around the aggregate amount of 200 imperial mages but, the result was immeasurable when that type was used to measure the hero. Thus I made a measurement with double the capacity which is a bit over 400 imperial mages but, I didn’t devise it for fine measurements」

Taking the large amount of magical power into consideration, it was not suited for a detailed numerical value.

But, since that tool was currently in Seria’s hand, she couldn’t help but want to use it to measure Rio’s magical power.

「Well, be patient since it can’t be helped. How can it be something absurd like the aggregate amount of 400 imperial mages magic……….? EH？ 」
